Saigon

We spent the day in Saigon.
We walked up to the intersection where the Buddhist monk set himself on fire in 1963.

We said goodbye to Nicole, then went to the street where all the travel agencies are and booked our bus to Mui Ne. $5 for a 250km 4 hour trip.
I went to Saigon Tax, the department store, and bought some supplies for our trip in the Supermarket department.
We all met at 1pm and went to the massage place for a fish treatment. The fish eat your dead skin and is great fun for the ticklish.
We had some pho for lunch and said goodbye to Alyce, Mike, Phoebe and Caroline.
Only us left in Saigon, we went for dinner at the Pub and got chatting to a bloke from Manchester who has lived in Saigon for 2 years. His mate from Glasgow, also living in Saigon, joined him later and they went off to watch United play Blackpool at the very civilised hour of 8pm in Saigon. Mike is coming down with the flu.
